This was an awful movie.

I watched it because I am a fan of Michael Moore but I had heard that he had faked interviews and that his documentaries were not honest. I watched this movie thinking it would have a lot to say about Michael Moore, and thought I might even change my opinion. The movie does more to whine about how too many people unfairly criticise Bush and give Clinton a free pass. Oh brother! Look at all the torture, lies, war, Constitutional change, and other treasonous acts that Bush has commited and yet which president was impeached over a bj?!

"and yet which president was impeached over a bj?!"
not entirely true,
"On August 17, 1998, William Jefferson Clinton swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth before a Federal grand jury of the United States. Contrary to that oath, William Jefferson Clinton willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the grand jury concerning one or more of the following: (1) the nature and details of his relationship with a subordinate Government employee; (2) prior perjurious, false and misleading testimony he gave in a Federal civil rights ac tion brought against him; (3) prior false and misleading statements he allowed his attorney to make to a Federal judge in that civil rights action; and (4) his corrupt efforts to influence the testimony of witnesses and to impede the discovery of evidence in that civil rights action."

so basically perjury,suborning perjury of others,and obstruction of justice

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_to_impeach_George_W._Bush I was going to copy the reasons to impeach president Bush onto this page but it was so big that it was diffucult for me to copy so I'll just give the link. This link is to Wikipedia so you can be sure the reasons on that long list are not just uprovocated attacks from democrats or people that don't like him.

Amazing...people actually referencing Wikipedia. Alomost as laughable as Michael Moore and his piece of garbage propaganda.

crazymikejj,

"Amazing...people actually referencing Wikipedia. Alomost as laughable as Michael Moore and his piece of garbage propaganda."

Why is this amazing? Wikipedia is one of the most widely used information sites on the web and everything that is stated therein is well referenced. So, why is this laughable?

I was going to list the so called "lies" that were made up by you people, but seeing as though you use Wiki as a source and cannot spell awful you are not worth my time.

Over sex. Not over breaking the constitution, and taking away freedoms from americans based on some "war on terror" which makes about as much sense as a war on unfairness. Never going to win that war...

idiots...

and this movie sucked so much it's not even funny. None of these people ever did anything again. Because this sucked.

hard.

Stop stealing George Carlin's lines.

Yea, over a BJ.

Bush is a war criminal, but it goes with the whole thing about morals in America: Extreme violence is okay, but sex is not!

Stuff like this reminds me of "Movie Poop Shoot.com" from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

[–] wdrr 16 years ago

yea... over a BJ... it wasn't just a BJ. Clinton was trying to redefine law by saying a BJ is not sex.

I guess if a BJ is not sex, we will need to let out all of those sex offenders and child molesters who only received a BJ... after all, according to William Jefferson Clinton, it is not sex. If it was not sex, we have men who are not guilty in jail.

I guess that's more awful than our own people getting slaughtered over seas for nothing, getting the rich even richer, and heading towards another depression.

"yea... over a BJ... it wasn't just a BJ. Clinton was trying to redefine law by saying a BJ is not sex."

It was just a BJ. Clinton initially lied on attempt to save the hurt feelings of 4 people and move on to more important issues of the day. In particular he had been completely on top of Al Qaeda and even tried to kill Bin Laden by launching missals at his training camp. However he was constantly hindered and obstructed by Republicans accusing him of doing too much against Terror. Meanwhile, House republicans led by the #1 Republican of the 90's, Newt Gingrinch, impeached Clinton for lying over the BJ while at the same time having a full on longtime sexual affair with his Intern. So while Clinton did just get a BJ, Gingrich was doing his intern up the ass.

His blatant hypocrisy and stupidity for pursuing such a trivial matter, so irrelevant to competency of one's job backfired on him by making all US politician's private life 'fair game' to the press. Since then, numerous sex scandals involving far more than just a 'bj' perpetrated by 'family values' party members have been uncovered including David Vitter, Mark Foley, and Larry Craig with gay sex seeming to be a recurring theme of conservative values.

If Fahrenhype 9/11 was awful, Fahrenheit 9/11 was down right toilet material, and should be flushed.

Of course, that's just my opinion. ;)

"If Fahrenhype 9/11 was awful, Fahrenheit 9/11 was down right toilet material, and should be flushed."

around 3-4 years after its realease, Fahrenheit 9/11 continues to be a strong documentary in its most important point= Bush indeed has been a horrible president, and americans have been fooled again (its not even funny at this point). Whereas it is sayd that Bush is not the worst president in history, he is comming very close to take that place; his aproval ratings are at an historical all time low (he beated truman!), his policies have resulted in a legacy hard to defend, with very few laws benefiting most voters and an invasion based on loose assumptions with no end in near sight (everytime a pundit states hostilities have decreased, we are back to more violence).

With the current state of the economy (a sensitive button for any republican) its hard to believe the "USA USA USA" message the movie has in the end, "trusting" bush (as in re-electing him, or letting him stay at the white house) led us to this point.

There will be an upcomming sequel to Moores movie, but i think no one will be in the mood to go see the current state of the country, specially those who squandered their votes by re-electing cheney-bush.

Agreed. By no means did this piece of garbage downplay the overall message of MM's Farenheit 911.

They pointed out "misrepresentations" that weren't even relevant to the message of Farenheit 911. I feel badly for the soldier who lost his arms in a senseless war, but how was using the publicly accessed footage of him talking about the phantom pain in his arms misrepresenting what he said? Of course a lot of families who lost loved ones serving in Iraq feel wronged by MM's flick; if they had to admit to themselves that their loved ones died for a cause much less admirable than "fighting the war on terror", it would be too painful to accept the loss.

My sympathies to all of the families and friends of the lost armed forces in this current senseless war; it's a frickin tragedy all the way around.
